MLC Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 What's the advantage of the spring being braided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 From the Geissele sight . SUPER 42 BRAIDED WIRE BUFFER SPRING AND BUFFER COMBO FULL DESCRIPTION The Geissele Super 42 Spring was designed to improve the function and reliability of your AR-15 pattern rifle. Its unique spring design uses three independent strands of wire, just like the German MG42 Machine Gun. This concept acts as a harmonic damper and energy absorber by allowing the springs to flex separately from each other. This flex helps displace excess energy which decreases the chance of spring failure and assists with making your AR-15 more reliable. Compared to the stock spring, The Geissele Super 42 Spring has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Spring has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo.

mineralman55 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Don't get me wrong. I hope you enjoy this new product. But I have to ask, how many of you have had a recoil spring fail or wear out? Cool product, but it seems to be a product that answers a question no one asked.

See this https://forum.308ar.com/topic/13339-ditching-the-sproing/ its not why I purchased this , I needed a Buffer & Spring for this build & said , why not try it , not that if I got the noise it would bother me with the std Buffer Spring . Not only that , but this type of spring is known for its long service life . I think the Tubb's will work for the spring noise also . AS far as a worn Buffer spring , I think if you get into a high round count & that could be any where from 3-5000 rounds or more , unless you are really paying attention , you may not notice it right away , more felt recoil , sporadic ejection pattern & excessive wear on components or even feeding issues .

I bet it's one of those things that you don't notice until you change it. Like anything you get used to it over time, then you change and it's like WOW!!

Cowtown Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 So far everything I have bought that says Geissele on it has been good to go. I am betting this setup will be too, but we will need a full report of course. Ss, you are having too much fun this weekend. I wish I was building a rifle...

survivalshop Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think his wife company , ALG , has a Carbine Receiver Extension that is forged from 7075-T6 , I may have to get one of those also to test . I remember there was a Thread on ARFCOM that everyone was saying the MilSpec Receiver Extensions were all made of Forged 7075 & kept asking for a manufacturer to speak up , because I thought they were all Extruded , with the MilSpec being a rolled thread , instead of a cut or tapped thread . Finally a manufacturer spoke up & said it was as I said & they would make a forged one for who ever wanted it , but the cost would as much as a Match Barrel or more . Now ALG Defense & I have seen one other CO. with a Forged Receiver Extension , come out with them. True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube (2) | Add Your Review Availability: In stock Price as configured:$38.00 Description: ALG Defense’s True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube is forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and is nearly double the strength of 6061-T6 aluminum found in most other “mil-spec” and commercial buffer tube variants. A dry film lubricant is applied to the buffer tube, which creates a semi-permanent application of solid lubricant for maximum wear resistance. Built by the Tier One supplier for military contractors of the M4 Carbine, these are the superior buffer tubes that military and law enforcement officers entrust their lives with every day. Select Buffer Tube Option* Choose a selection... True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube - Buffer Tube Only +$0.00 True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube Kit - w/ Heavy Buffer +$39.00 True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube Kit - w/ H2 Buffer +$46.00 True Mil-Spec Buffer Tube Kit - w/ H3 Buffer +$53.00 Add Stock Position Indicator Engraving 1 x Stock Position Indicator Engraving +$10.00 * Required Fields Price as configured:$38.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I post something that is used in something I don't have Makes no sense if I can't test it . With all the new stuff coming out from Armalite , I couldn't keep up ! Besides this is for an AR 15 or in the case of the Receiver Extension , AR 15/DPMS 308AR I have to pull one of my AR 15 Carbine Buffers to get some measurements , because I took some from the Geissele Spring/Buffer set up & a std Carbine Spring with photo's , so I can give a comparison . & the Rifle build went well , with just two minor issues .

survivalshop Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) OK , there are slight differences in the Dia. of the Buffers , mostly at the shoulder where the Spring rides or secures & of course , big differences in the Springs . Brand Spring length COILS BUFFER MAIN BODY BUFFER SPING SHOULDER Geissele AR 15 Carbine 10 7/8" 27 0.6845" 0.7525" Std AR 15 Carbine 10 1/2 " 38 0.6835" 0.7765" The STD Carbine spring will fit over the Geissele Buffer , but is loose on the shoulder , Geisselle will not fit over the STD Buffer , in this case a Spikes H2 Buffer . Buffer system feels good hand cycling the action , but will find out when I test fire tomorrow how it works with the Piston system .

Malig8r Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looking forward to the range report. Saw these and considered them but ended up going with Springco for my ARs. Isn't the replacement schedule for buffer springs supposed to be between 5 & 8 or 9 thousand rounds? As stated earlier, it'll probably be one of those "wow" this is nice moments if you've been getting close to the replacement round count on your spring.
